My point wasn’t that Nova was not good in Big East. I said they weren’t great in Big East. Kind of middle of the pack for most years when Big East was legit. Guess what goofball? I’m right! Of course my original point was that the Big East today sucks and UNCONN isn’t changing that.

WVU has neutered those Long Horns and robbed your bank. Your money hasn't saved you from the gun powder of the Mountaineer.

West Virginia has been solid and is getting better across the board but you still cannot compete with Texas yet in all sports.
You are getting there in a few sports.
Sorry, but you are absolutely wrong. Motivation determines a lot. It determines how you practices, how you prepare, the effort you put in. And FCS teams do beat FBS teams sometimes. It doesn't mean that the FCS team could compete weekly against FBS schools. There is also a huge difference in a season opener and a bowl game. One actually means something while the other just doesn't. Winning the Orange Bowl, when it's not a playoff game, means nothing now. It had some meaning in the BCS days, but even that is gone. If you lose your season opener, your season might be over for all intents and purposes. If you lose a bowl game.....who cares?
98% of CFB teams aren't expecting to compete for a NC.
According to your logic their season is finished before it started.
Motivation isn't a factor once the game starts.
If you are saying the players are unmotivated after a game starts....
That is an issue with coaching and major changes need to happen.
Games are determine by strengths and weaknesses.
Auburn had some offensive issues in 2017.
They really had them in 18 when their OLine went to ****.
UCF's offense was a lot more efficient and could move the ball much better.
Difference between 17-18 was that UCFs D wasn't as good in 18.
It wasn't a motivated LSU team.
Plus Milton didn't play.

Keep hitting the pipe and maybe you'll actually be a Texas fan instead of a pretend one.
If WV actually passed Texas I would agree.
Texas finished in the Top 10 in 20 sports.
Don't think WV finished in the Top 10 in more than 2 or 3.
Texas is no longer the Texas feared by many in the past. Texas isn't an Alabama or Clemson team anymore.
Why are you even arguing?
Are we taking about just football or all sports.
Clemson and Bama have nothing on Texas in regards to overall athletic success.
They are better in football at the current time though.
Things change in the sport.
Yet your yapping about Texas in a UCONN thread. Which has nothing to do with UCONN. Go figure.
This thread went off topic a long time ago when UCF was brought up and when GregJacobs asked if WV would return to the Big East.
Allen don’t be a dumbasss. I clearly stated that the new Big East was overrated as a conference. Of course Nova is good. Everyone else is overrated or suck. And, Nova wasn’t a top 4-6 team in the real Big East. I’m thinking 6th-8th best program over the last 20 years of the real Big East.
Few teams that really are great anymore but you still get tough matchups.
Big East teams for the most part are very well coached.
Has a lot of depth still. UCONN helps with that. Georgetown and St John's could be close to peaking again.
That was why the Big 12 is playing them in a conference tournament
Villanova could compete in any Big East. You really think Pitt is anywhere close to Villanova as a basketball school.

And Houston's facilities are better than WVU's? You think Holgersen really believes that. That's coach speak going into a new program.
Big East television money was horrible
Not much of a difference between what WVU was getting and Cougar High.
Overall revenue or just football revenue.
WV is an oddity because they loss money on football but gained money elsewhere.
This is how the stadium was brought up. WV can do a lot more with their Stadium and make WV football a social gathering.
Luxury boxes are probably the way to go with WV.
Not so fast Boomer....... G5 conferences as a whole may not be on the par with P5 conferences but there are some very good programs at the G5 level. UCF, Cinty, Houston even Temple and Memphis in the AAC are on par or better than many of the P5 mid level and bottom dwellers. Independents BYU, ND and Army (this year). Boise, Utah St, Fresno Nevada in the MWst. These all are teams better than MOST of the P12, Rutgers, Indy, Ill, Minnesota, Marylandk and even Nebraska in the B1G, Kansas and on par with KSU, TTU, Okst in the B12, UNC, Dook, Wake and now a depleted Lvlle in the ACC. And on par with MissSt, Mizzou, Old Miss, Vandy and Ark in the SEC.
These programs can compete mid level in any conference year after year. Some years heading to toward the top of those conferences. You can if you want to show your ignorance and pick and choose a couple programs in a few years that didn't produce great results. But that doesn't negate where the programs are today.
Here is for college football.

#65 West Virginia $20.5 million
One of five schools among the 65 to run a football deficit – of just over $418K.
Texas played two Big East teams last year in Xavier and Providence.
Both were well coached and could win some games in the Big 12.
Xavier impressed me a lot.
Even with all that the Big 12 will win 6-8 out of 10.
Not taking anything away from the BE. Think they would beat the PAC 12 in a challenge and do pretty well against the SEC next year.
Xavier finished 6th 19-15 and Providence 8th at 18-16. Way to go after the Big boy teams in the Big East conference. Xavier lost a tight one in the NIT to Texas. Providence beat your *** in Austin. Texas is not well coached in basketball. You should look elsewhere.
Texas' home and home with Providence is what created the Big 12/Big East Challenge.
Providence is usually a good team because they always have tough guards.
Their guards took advantage of Texas' last year. Think it will be different in Providence. Last time there was a great game with PJ Tucker hitting a GW shot.
You argue just to argue sometimes.
I was actually helping you out.
Greggy thinks that by Pitt leaving the Big East isn't the same.
I think they do miss Syracuse but that is it. UCONNs attention can be quickly directed towards Seton Hall and St John's. I expect both programs to be on the rise.
In regards to Xavier.
Even without Chris Mack that team isn't going to miss a beat. Some have them as a preseason Top 15 team. Like I said Texas played them and Xavier gets all the respect in basketball.
